The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

"Now, Shiyan must marry into the Wen family. My Wen family has raised her, and it is time for her to repay us."

Madam Wen sensed that Lord Wen knew something, so she looked at Old Madam Wen, but Old Madam Wen didn't even glance at her.

She is both her mother-in-law and aunt, so the person who spoils her the most in the Wen family is the old lady, but now even the old lady has this attitude.

So the old lady knows?

No, they definitely wouldn't. If they knew, why haven't they said anything?

Lord Wen said, "The date has been set. Just keep it low-key and get married directly. There's no need to think about anything else."

Wen Yibin sat lazily to the side and said, "I agree with what my older brother said."

The members of the second and third branches of the Zhou family looked left and right, and finally all silently followed suit, agreeing to let Wen Shiyan get married on the appointed day.

Aunt Zhou also said, "The date has already been set, and everyone has been notified. If we postpone it now, people will think we're guilty."

Finally, Madam Zhou made the final decision, "It's settled then. The day after tomorrow is Shiyan's wedding day. You all should prepare well in the days to come."

After everyone dispersed, Wen Shiyan was particularly unhappy, and it was Madam Wen who pulled her away.

Wen Yibin came out with Wen Shiyan. As they walked, he said, "We'll figure out a solution for your situation after Shiyan gets married. For the next few days, you should stay at the manor."

“My uncle told me a few days ago that he had found some clues. Now that there’s the matter of the Sixth Prince, it should be easier for you to investigate, right?”

She was starting to doubt Wen Yibin's abilities.

"There are suspects, but nothing has been confirmed yet."

"Who?"

Wen Yibin hesitated for a moment before saying, "The person you were going to marry before."

Du Mingxian suddenly remembered what everyone had been talking about earlier, "Feng Zhiyuan? Could it be him? We clearly have no connection."

"He fell in love with you at first sight and insisted on marrying you, but later he found out that you were ugly and ended up with Shiyan. He must have resented you."

Du Mingxian had suspected everyone around her, but never this complete stranger. "Is it really him?"

"We suspect it's him because he recently had contact with people from the Killing Pavilion. The timing, location, and circumstances all fit—it's too much of a coincidence."

When can we confirm?

"The investigation is still ongoing."

Du Mingxian didn't know what to say, and suddenly she started to care about Wen Shiyan.

"If he really did it, would the family still have allowed Shiyan to marry into the family?"

"Yes, she is her. The marriage agreement between the Wen family and the Feng family has been going on for a long time."

Du Mingxian trembled slightly. The Wen family was really ruthless. They knew Feng Zhiyuan was not a good person, but they still wanted to marry Wen Shiyan into the family.

“She was raised by the Wen family, so naturally she should contribute to the Wen family. Moreover... she is not a child of the Wen family. Everything she suffers afterward is caused by her mother.”

Du Mingxian remained silent.

Wen Yibin waved his hand, "Go back to your courtyard and stay there. Don't wander around. The Emperor has recently issued an order to conduct a thorough investigation, and even the people from the Killing Pavilion dare not make any rash moves."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian stayed in the courtyard until Wen Shiyan got married. She never left the courtyard. Every morning, the main kitchen delivered food, and Chun Tao would always add something to it.

She made both lunch and dinner herself.

Lord Wen and Wen Yibin's men would come directly to the courtyard to take the food back.

She didn't go looking for Ling Silang again, but waited for Wen Shiyan's wedding day, thinking that Ling Silang would definitely come.

On the day the Wen family was celebrating their wedding.

The main kitchen delivered the food early, and Du Mingxian also got up early to prepare and wait in the yard.

Before long, Madam Wen sent someone over to ask Du Mingxian to come over.

When she arrived, there was no one else in Madam Wen's courtyard except for her.

Madam Wen looked at Du Mingxian with affection, "You'll be by my side today. I didn't have time to give you a welcome banquet when you came back. I'll take this opportunity to introduce you to some people."

Du Mingxian understood; this was to tell everyone that she was the true eldest daughter of the Wen family.

But... she doesn't need it.

Lord Wen already knows she isn't the real Wen Huan. Is it really a good idea to have Old Madam Wen introduce her to someone else at this point?

She remained silent, not daring to reply. At this moment, she should really ask Lord Wen.

Soon people came from outside. Many people came over to pay their respects to Old Madam Wen, and then immediately went to see Wen Shiyan. Some people even added to her makeup on the spot. Because the Wen family had been quiet these past few days, there weren't many people who came to add to her makeup.

They received wave after wave of guests. Although the Wen family wanted to keep a low profile, it was still the daughter of a high-ranking official getting married, so quite a few people came.

Finally, Du Mingxian stayed with Madam Wen until it was almost time for Wen Shiyan to leave home. A servant came to report that Feng Zhiyuan had arrived at the main hall from the door and invited Madam Wen to come over.

"Let's go, come with me to take a look."

Du Mingxian was quite surprised, "Grandmother, aren't you going to see Shiyan?"

As she walked out, Madam Wen said, "What's so interesting about this?"

Du Mingxian: "..." This old lady's attitude is not right. Even if Wen Shiyan is not Lord Wen's child, Madam Wen is still the maternal niece of Old Madam Wen.

Even without the Wen family connection, Wen Shiyan still calls Old Madam Wen "great-aunt," so why doesn't she show any gratitude?

Weird.

As the two walked into the hall, Du Mingxian finally seized the opportunity to step aside, no longer wanting to stand next to Old Madam Wen, her smile becoming stiff.

On this joyous day, everything was festive, and the guests were all very happy, except for the two people involved... who were very unhappy.

Wen Shiyan was led out by Feng Zhiyuan. Although she was wearing a veil, Du Mingxian could still sense the resentment she was full of. Feng Zhiyuan's expression was also not good; he looked wooden and sullen.

The emcee shouted from the side, "Kneel down!"

The first person to pay respects was Old Madam Wen, followed by Madam Wen and Lord Wen, who were forcing themselves to be energetic.

The farewell ceremony was very simple. Madam Wen didn't put on any formalities or offer any words of advice. Lord Wen didn't say anything either. Only Madam Wen told Feng Zhiyuan not to bully Wen Shiyan and to let Wen Shiyan live a good life.

The atmosphere at the scene was strange, and Du Mingxian frowned as she watched, feeling that something was amiss.

Just then, she heard a familiar voice in her ear, "See you in the garden in a bit."

She turned around and saw Ling Silang smiling and nodding slightly at her before turning away, as if their eye contact had been accidental.

When the bride went out, many guests followed to watch the spectacle.

Du Mingxian quietly shrank behind people, and only when she saw that no one was paying attention did she walk towards the garden. As she walked, she felt something was wrong, so she went straight to the corner, slipped into her spatial dimension, and saw Chun Tao following behind her hurriedly chasing after her.
